Credit Card and CVV fields are type="tel"

I understand that type="tel" provides a numeric keypad for mobile users, but it also breaks accessibility and does not accurately describe what is being inputted into the field.

A vision impaired user will hear "Input telephone number" on the credit card field.

Please either switch this to type="text", or provide a way to configure the type of the field through the API.

Hi, I'd also like to raise this as an accessibility issue.

Having Microform inputs set to "tel" means a screen reader will announce it, creating confusion for screen reader users about what information they are supposed to be entering.

Is there any way to change this?
